PRODUCT DETAILS

The Moleskine Classic Hard Cover Notebooks are reliable travel companions, perfect for writings, sketches, thoughts, and passing notes. They have a cardboard bound cover with rounded corners, a bookmark, an elastic closure, and an expandable inner pocket that contains the Moleskine history.

I never understood why people used Moleskine notebooks. They're so pricey! And aren't they just notebooks anyway?

Well, I guess you can call me a convert at this point. The pages lay completely flat so that you can write on both sides with ease. The paper is thin, but doesn't show much ink through it. The construction is quality and there is a pocket in the back for things you want to keep.

I use mine for a visual journal. As an art teacher, it gets passed around a lot. So far, it hardly shows any wear. I glue things into it, paint in it, use fountain pens, calligraphy pens, even watercolor. The paper holds up.

10/10 would buy again.

The paper in this notebook is very thin and ink bleeds through it so you can only use one side of each page. I ended up purchasing Moleskine Art Plus Sketchbook to replace this one, as the sketchbook has much thicker paper.

After using Moleskin notebooks and sketchbooks for almost two decades, with every Moleskin I buy, I know I can count on several things: The pages will receive my pen's ink with ease; The inner pocket is there for unattached notes, receipts, or business cards - keeping my notebook free of clutter; The 240 pages afford me ample room to lay out thoughts, designs, and lists of all sorts; Unlined, plain paper is my choice for the varied contributions I make to my Moleskin, but for those preferring lines, there are plenty of choices. For these reasons, the flat black rectangular journal with the elastic strap and a quality writing instrument are "Staples" in my bag. The reason it gets four stars instead of five is due to the price, nearly $20 after taxes.

The best thing about the moleskin notebooks is the quality of the paper. I use mine specifically as a doodling tool with students when they need to be calmed down. The paper is not overly thick, but it just right to doodle on one side of the paper, and it does not bleed through. The size makes it easy to fit into my bag, making it very portable,

I've never had a Moleskine before, and I never understood what the big deal is.I got the blank notebook to use as a sketch book. I know that Moleskine has a sketchbook, but I didn't have access to it, so I settled for the blank notebook.

Drawing on it, I can see why people love it, its really nice smooth and comfertable paper, and the hard back is wonderful! since it is a notebook and not a sketch book, the pages are thin, so you can see through them once you get a sketch done on the other page. That doesn't bother me, but I can see how it would bother a lot of people.

Either way, its a very well made product, and I'm super glad I got it.
